Brett Lee has spent thousands of hours as an Internet detective pretending to be a teenager online to hunt down and prosecute child sex offenders.

In Screen Resolution, Brett describes his experiences in real and powerful terms, profiling predator behaviours and exposing their sinister intentions.

Often confronting and at times disturbing, Brett’s account will help you discern the truth behind the screen and what you can to do to protect your families online.

Through reading this book, every family can achieve a safe and productive online environment.

Through using case studies and analysis, Brett and David take us into the world that, thankfully, many of us do not know, namely, that of the internet sexual predator. The authors seek to develop our knowledge of the predator who, for the most part, is unseen and unknown, and the predator whose background, skills, and qualifications are varied and not stereotyped, and whose predilections are complex and confused. The tools of trade of these predators involve one of the greatest information boons of our time, namely, the internet. It is a wonderful tool that educates, informs, and provides almost limitless nsights into things historic and contemporary, and allows us to peek into the future. Whilst it provides immediate access into a rich array of information, like many things in life, it provides an avenue for those who would misuse this technology to engage in inappropriate conduct and behaviour. Indeed, the use of the internet for sexual misconduct or gratification is but one example of its misuse.

Brett Lee, an experienced undercover detective with the Queensland Police Force, and his colleague, David Morris, an equally experienced journalist, have collaborated to bring out Screen Resolution and provide our society, families and young people with a graphic insight into the world of the internet sexual predator. It is an excellent book, a must-read for all parents and caregivers as they take care of children who are now living in a world of internet and online networking. The book is based on the author’s experiences after posing as a teenager, and he exposes how child sex offenders operate and guides families on how to provide a safe online environment for their children at home.

The book is disturbing as it reveals the dark side of internet as it grows and provides exciting educational and communication opportunities for young people. The author’s firsthand account of what children and young people encounter without their parents knowing speaks about the importance of educating children to identify these dangers and avoid them. The tips shared in the book are useful and helpful to make them understand that cyber bullying is a criminal offence. The author handles the topic with an authoritative voice and gives steps to minimize the impacts of bullying and helps to educate children to put strategies in place so that the risk of negative outcomes can be reduced. The core messages in the book can be practiced and achieved by all those who have children at home, so that they can make the internet a safer playground.
